Grab rebounds, and defend. That's playoff basketball in a nuts .
Besides stroke Poop's liberal affirmative action agenda by allowing him to have a coal black starting lineup, tbh?
Deadman is trash and is an embarrassment to the starting lineup. He is the worst big in the rotation and probably shouldn't be in the rotation at all, tbh.

Plays in garbage time
He's exposed now.
I'm still rooting for him because Gasol coming off the bench is a huge weapon to have. All the Spurs need is for Deadman to just keep pace until Pau checks in.
Selective memory? He defends and rebounds. He has an important role and will be huge as we move forward in the playoffs.
he had a bad first game. it's fine.
moving along
Take up minutes. He'll be better against a team like Houston. He can't handle Gasol.
Better then boban
EXACTLY!
His specialty is defense. If he can't handle Gasol, he's useless.
Not sure how Houston will be a better matchup, as well.... he's a foul machine going up against the #1 foul drawing team, and his "defense" will be wasted on Capela.
He's the Francisco Elson of this team. But he starts.
Sorry, I must have missed his defending while getting torched by Gasol tbh.Grab rebounds, and defend. That's playoff basketball in a nuts .
He eats up minutes so that Pau can wait to come in and lead the second unit.
In baseball terms, he's an "innings eater" -- a starting pitcher who can go for a while and allow your studs to rest.
Plus, he sets the defensive tone at the rim for the whole game.
Pau starting at this point in his career is a bad idea.
With Pau playing so great off the bench, if it ever comes to taking Dedmond off the starting lineup, I'd rather put lee or Bertans in just to not ruin Paus groove. But I'm cheering for Dedmond to get it going
We'd better re-sign him tbh
It's his mobility on defense that helps. Gasol uses size and strength to score. Dedmon doesn't have the strength. But vs Houston, he'll be better at guarding the pick n roll. Hardin is a master of the pick and roll, and Pau won't be much help on defense. But Dedmon's mobility will help. Remember it's about team defense, not individual man to man defense.
I hope you're right.
This year against Houston he had 3 points and 8 rebounds TOTAL in 4 games.
Some ugly games too where Pop yanked him ASAP:
-12 in 9 minutes
-10 in 4 minutes
Lee would be a better option tbh.
Dedmon is Bartolo Colon.
No.
He's an athlete.
He plays a sport.
He's not a 300 pound fat ass.
He doesn't drink beer during games.
He plays more than once every 5 days.
Dedmon starter not Boban
He got schooled by one of the best centers in the league tonight in Marc. I give him a pass for that. It's not like a scrub went off on him.
That's about all he is. He's got zero skills, which you can get away with in the NBA being a big man if you can jump high. Deadman didn't start playing basketball til like 19, so it's understandable.
Bartolo is still a better athlete than Deadman, though. Skills are a part of being a sportsman, the most important part.

So easy Tebow can hit homeruns
